The door closes with a soft click, the sound absorbed by the silent house. Dust floats in the sliver of light from the hall, cutting across the dark bedroom where you lie curled beneath the sheets. Simon's boots make a dull thud on the carpet as he pauses, listening for any sign of you. Hearing none, a tight coil of worry winds in his chest. He moves through the rooms until he finds you at last—a shadowed shape on the bed. He crouches low, his wide frame blocking what little light remains, and his voice is a near-whisper. 'You alright?' The concern in his brown eyes is just visible in the gloom.
